[Nexus S Android Development] phositadc:
Quick question. Just got a Nexus S and am figuring out which kernels I should try. My work is going to be using Good for Enterprise, which can check for root, so I unfortunately do not plan to root the Nexus S.

1) Will this kernel work on an unrooted phone? I plan to unlock the bootloader manually and flash CWM, so I assume I could flash this kernel without ever rooting. I understand I won't be able to use certain features such as overclocking/undervolting/etc., but will the kernel function? Or does it absolutely require root to function?

2) Assuming it will work without root, does anybody know if BLN would work without root? Using an app like BLN control?

Thanks in advance.

1 Maybe noob question..

What is oc target low and oc target high in Nstool?
[Nexus S Android Development] d_phekt:
Flashed 18.5 on JB AOSP 4.1.1 and everything seems to be working fine including BLN. The only thing I noticed in NSTools under Governor it says "not available".
[Nexus S Android Development] CrackerTeg:
Probably because of the hw file that needs to be deleted to make it work. Just a guess on my part. I know nothing about that. Srsly.

delete the hw folder in system/lib! Just open the 18.5.zip with winrar on your pc...

Guys, what is the best scheduler for smartassv2?
[Nexus S Android Development] xuser:
Try v14.5 works great and no green flash on wake.
[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
Based on experience, I find it best paired with noop. especially when listening to music, but feel free to try it out with other schedulers. Most developers like deadline the best. ;)

I posted this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1710074 , you and mk replied in it too... in that thread, DeuXGod said he experienced the same thing too.

Summing things up here for your convenience:

=== CRASHING BEHAVIOR:

- Multiple processes crash when doing nothing, processes include calendar, superuser, process.android.acore, people...

- Airplane mode cannot be turned off

- GSM signal lost a period time after boot.

- apps FC: ROM Manager, System Tuner ... maybe all those accessing su?

=== SOLUTION TRIED:

- Wiping cache & dalvik? NO USE.

- NANDroid backup and then restore? Yes it helps, but only TEMPORARILY.

=== DOUBTED REASONS & EFFORTS:

- Not wiped before flashing?

>Thorough wipe, IN VAIN:

Manually wiped dalvik, boot, cache, system, data. 5 times the procedure.

Flash ROM (AOKP M6) + GApps, reboot, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash kernel, fix permissions (and tried not fixing it), reboot.

- Version unstable?

>Newest version, IN VAIN: all versions from v16 ~ v22 are causing the problem. Most recently tried v22 cfs.

- Device cannot handle undervoltage?

>Tired raising voltage to Google stock, IN VAIN:

Raised voltages are as the tables shown in replies in mentioned thread.

- Hardware issue?

>Probably NOT: Other kernels won't have this crashing problem.

- Failure in kernel file management?

>That's what I doubt, cuz the nandroid backup-and-restore method helped. but there's nothing I myself can do to make sure.

==========================================================

I really like Matr1x Kernel, but because of this issue, I have to turn to other kernel.

Hope you can look into it.

I sent feedback, but not I'm not always replied. If you are willing to help and need logcat, I'll try to fetch one to provide.

Thanks!

when i try running this script through romtoolbox's scripter, why does it take so long? it stilll shows please wait with the 'running smartass v2' and the rotating circle

edit: is that an extra '0'? if it isnt, are you suggesting me to liveoc to a high of 2000? o_O

so, for both low and high liveoc, its 800 and 2000 OR is it low 200 and high 800?

edit2: doesnt having an OC of 2000 Mhz slowly degrades the phone's processor? the highest i can go is 1460

Jesus effing crud! i cannot count how many times my phone has already deep sleeped today! <10, but >5 times! sometimes all i did was just boot up my phone, let it finishing loading up, minutes later i attempt to power on, boom. dead. pull battery, re-insert, power on, works for a little bit, leave alone for a few minutes, boom, dead again. pull battery...repeat! UGH!

sorry if i blew some steam off a tad, just that idk what is going wrong

edit3: UGH, now my nstools settings wont stick! i try to save it as any random name and gives me "failed to save settings" every single time. even just giving it a single letter name file or 'smart v1.0' etc etc. doesnt do it! why is this happening to only ME?!

May I humbly ask if you faithfully did your nandroid backup?

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------

Hope you remember this response?

If you did nandroid, then just restore it and everything is back to normal.
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
well, thing is that i didnt make any other mods to it, flash-wise, other than the stock ics deodexed rom i had freshly installed a couple/few weeks ago when i had a non-stop bootloop. then after that i just looked for the apps i had lost and reinstalled them. so youre saying that i should make a nandroid backup of the current state it is in and just restore the very same nandroid i had made a backup of?

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

i cannot save the new nstools settings for smartassv2. thats all i want to do for now and i cant because of the message it gives me, "failed to save settings"
[Nexus S Android Development] JokerAce:
I have read somewhere that nstool is not very stable actually, for some. Anyway, try using init.d script to do the work instead?
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
im not sure, but i think i may have found the culprit to what makes my phone not able to wake, thus doing a battery pull and powering on again. i think it might be because of the screen off profile that i use in SetCPU. ive had it set at wheatley 400-200. even when i just freshly updated to stock JB with stock kernels, moments later, same thing happened. so, i tried temporarily disabling the profile i set for screen off and so far, nothing has happened. also, when you guys try to put a widget or icon in place of another widget's icon, do other icons kinda make a stutter movement?

Thread reopened.

Lets get this clear: Asking for ETA's is both rude, and disrespectful, developers don't owe you anything, they are sharing their work with us for free.

This thread is about the Matr1x kernel, not about JB roms, or asking when kernels will be released.

Now keep calm and XDA on.
[Nexus S Android Development] CrackerTeg:
I guess people don't get my humor. I wasn't being serious about the twisted part. I was referring to the sit back and laugh post. I guess so my "serious, f**ked up posts" don't get taken seriously, I should add an "lol" or a "j/k". Personally, I'm in no hurry to upgrade as I'm happy with my current setup as it runs flawlessly. The last few JB ROM and kernel combos I've run are power hungry as hell. I guess MK's kernel spoiled the hell out of me on ICS. If my humor gets me a boot because it gets taken too seriously, so be it. Either way, MK, your kernel works fantastic and I wouldn't change a thing. Its YOUR kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
Ok guys I'm posting this for mk as the last posts in this thread has really affected him beyond what you entitled folks must have originally intended.

So asking for ETA's may not be rude in some cultures and to some people ,may even feel like encouraging the dev when doing that, so I will say this now: IT DOESN'T. All it does is put unnecessary pressure on the developer, who in this case is really hard at work, believe me. :)

The JB kernel is taking long because mk has been building it from the ground up. He has decided on some major changes in his design philosophy which will have major effect on the final outcome of the kernel. In fact I'm pretty sure the final release version will be so different from the kernels of yore that mk will be moaned and *****ed at tremendously but he feels that this is the way to go, and we fully support him.

What we would like to see here in our Nexus S forums is for real development to flourish and somehow, I managed to pull thalamus out of his self-imposed exile from xda and now we're seeing a revival of sorts. I know what we have now is still far from what it was when the NS was new but at least we have something right? And with morfic, thalamus and mathkid all carrying on the torch of real, genuine development, we'll expect more exciting days for our beloved devices. Tell me, would you rather have clones of the same kernel under different names or 2 or 3 distinctly original ones that we can flash and test to our heart's content?

I know what i want, and mk has entrusted as with testing his kernels as he doesn't want to put out untested releases that would only frustrate the users and eventually, himself as few users ever manage to give constructive criticisms or useful error logs.

So this is a request for a ceasefire. I encourage that you guys wait in expectant silence until the new version is ready or you can move on to other kernels if you just. Need. To flash. Something. (I know how this feels)

So again, make peace not war and why don't we all just get along? :)

I am saddened that I have to come back to this thread, so very soon after my last message.

Let me make this crystal clear, you are not entitled to anything, you may wait quietly, or you can be constructive, bug reports, etc, anything else is unwelcome.

It is of cause only a vocal minority that is the problem, but if this poor behavior continues, then harsher sanctions will be taken.

Kernel update!

So here it is, JB Matr1x.

You may notice I have completely revamped the entire kernel and added only the features that I find useful. No more extra crap so please don't ask me for feature adding.

I may add overclocking later though!

For now, the focus is on speed and stability.

Oh yeah please don't ask for a screen color change either... I like these colors :)

Ugh... Was looking forward to using this kernel. Am I the only one experiencing the yellow screen tint? It's almost like the new colors in the kernel aren't overwriting the stock colors. My wife and stepson both have the same exact phone and theirs have always looked fine. Whenever I use any kernel with Trinity colors (which are included in this kernel) my screen is nasty yellow. It was the same way with ICS also, but had voodoo to correct it and never worried about it. Now it's becoming annoying because there is something obviously going on within my phone. I hope someone can chime in with some ideas of what the problem could be.
